Yesterday I finished the entire Post and Beam section of the book. It was a huge project for someone of my skill/work ethic, and I was incredibly relieved to have it done. I got up this morning and realized I forgot to update the remainder of the table-of-contents, and fix some character code errors. I spent a couple hours fixing it, then sent it off to James.

I finally got in touch with him this afternoon, after our hike. He loved it, and said it was perfect. The only issue with it, is the fact that I found a drawing he didn’t mention in the text, but couldn’t get a hold of him (powers been out on the island for days) to find out what was up. I carried on, omitting the image and figured I will fix it if I need to. It turns out the image was mentioned, but not where I expected. So I now have to go back and shift basically everything from that point on. For now it doesn’t matter, this draft is specifically for the students, and will be edited by them.

Now I take a day off, then move on to Timber Bents. The book in it’s current state is 92 pages in length without the appendix (my dad says it doesn’t need an appendix since I don’t have one). I now have to add another section around 80 pages or more, plus another 30-40 pages of appendix and glossary at it’s end.

I have to get all that done before his Bents course starts on the 3rd of May. Hopefully I have an easier time with the rest of it, considering I know what format he wants it in. Oh, and I also have to add a bunch of photos to the middle at some point.
